So Babes in Toyland

Y’know the Disney film that was a live action(supposedly was made to be animated but Walt Disney decided Live action instead) Musical Movie (based on the actual musical) is one of my favorite Christmas movies since childhood. Y’know the movie with Keanu Reeves, Drew Barrymore, Richard Mulligan (aka the Scarecrow from the original Wizard of Oz), etc.

I can’t help but have brain rot over Toyland, Mother Goose’s Neighborhood, hell the forest of no return were such beautiful sets. And don’t get me started on the costumes. Like the over femme dresses, the nightmare fuel that is the talking trees and animal residents, and god the villains outfits are immaculate as well.

It’s kinda a fever dream of a movie without the context or original story to understand completely everything, so I wouldn’t recommend just watching it without knowing the story. I can be seen as a bad movie but my nostalgia holds right onto it after having the storybook of this movie, and reading said story over and over again.

but back to the main point of why I’m actually bringing this up, I really hope that Twisted wonderland will have an event to go to toyland or something to that degree, because I would love to see it, bring back some very old Disney into the new, make it a nice reference to an old story that takes ahold of my heart around Christmas time.

Beloved, I am shaking like a rat dog, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT VECNA AND THE PHANTOM I AM AQUIVER WITH ANTICIPATION

Oh, my darling wife, I am so glad you asked!

It all starts in the year 1986, when Jill Schoelen is cast as Mary in Babes in Toyland. And yes, I DO mean the terrible Babes in Toyland movie I own on VHS. The one where Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore perform an entire musical number about how much they love being from Cincinnati, Ohio while inside a moving Jeep.

The one where Mr. Miyagi is Santa Claus. That one.

Anyway, Jill Schoelen is now a certified screen presence, and she has the legitimacy of working with Reeves and Barrymore (who are still stars on the rise in the late 80's and early 90's). She also happens to have a pretty solid singing voice, as demonstrated in BITL.

So 1989 rolls along and Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is the latest American pop culture hit. After two years of drawing enormous crowds on London's West End stage, the show finally opens on Broadway in 1988. Hoping to cash in on the Phantom-nomenon and hook a wider teen audience, the writers and producers turned it into A SLASHER FILM!

Starring Jill Schoelen as Christine Day and Robert Englund as the mysterious (perhaps murderous) composer Erik Destler, this version of Phantom uses a modern-day frame narrative to play with Gaston LeRoux's original horror themes.

Honestly, if it weren't so terribly produced and awkwardly acted, this could have been a pretty solid B-horror movie. As it stands, 1989's Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite Disasterpieces.

While this movie was very much hoping to capitalize on Englund's popularity (and the highest grossing Nightmare on Elm Street movie to date, 1988's Nightmare 4: The Dream Master) it failed spectacularly. With 5.5 on IMDB and 33% on Rotten Tomatoes... it's bad.

Fun Fact: The lead investigator in Phantom is named Inspector Hawkins.

But the major floppage of his opera slasher put zero dents in Englund's career. He went on to sell out two more Freddy movies before moving on to other roles... including Victor Creel in Season 4 of Stranger Things.

Anyway, Vecna's Dad is the Phantom of the Opera.

There's a heavy storm going on outside so of course i'm thinking of Babes in Toyland.

C I N C I N N A T I, Cincinnati! The best town in O H I O Ohio USA. At first they called it Cinci but since Cinci is so natty, they named it Cincinnati so they say! The girls are pretty pretty in this pretty little city, the fellas are the fiestiest I've seen.

😵‍💫😵‍💫And when it comes to ball teams the reds and the bangals maul teams, they knock the socks off all the other teams...😵‍💫😵‍💫

I MEAN TO argue's indefensible, the facts are common sensible, Cin cin ci is in vin cible YAAAAA KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

Cinci's more than merely Natty, she's Ohio's Masserati!

CINCINNATI'S AT THE CENTRE OF THE SCEEEEEEENE
